Hosea 8
1 Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.
¡Pon la trompeta en tus labios! ¡Como águila viene contra la Casa de Yavé, porque violaron mi Pacto y se rebelaron contra mi Ley!
2 They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”
A Mí clamarán: ¡ʼElohim mío, nosotros te conocemos!
3 Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.
Pero Israel rechazó lo bueno, el enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.
Designaron reyes sin intervención mía. Constituyeron gobernantes sin mi aprobación. Con su plata y con su oro hicieron ídolos para su destrucción.
5 Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
Él rechaza tu becerro, oh Samaria. Mi ira se encendió contra ellos. ¿Hasta cuándo son incapaces de lograr purificación?
6 For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.
Porque de Israel es aun esto. El artífice lo hizo, no es ʼElohim. ¡Será destrozado el becerro de Samaria!
7 For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.
Sembraron viento y cosecharán tempestad. No tendrán cosecha, ni la espiga producirá harina. Y si la produce, extraños la comerán.
8 Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.
Israel será devorado. Será una vasija inútil entre las naciones.
9 For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.
Porque fueron a Asiria y Efraín como asno solitario. j Alquiló amantes.
10 But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.
Pero aunque alquilen entre las naciones, ahora los reuniré y serán afligidos un poco por la carga del rey de los príncipes.
11 For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.
Efraín multiplicó los altares para pecar. Para él son altares para pecar.
12 I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.
Le escribí las grandezas de mi Ley. Fueron recibidas como cosa extraña.
13 They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.
Aunque en los sacrificios de mis ofrendas sacrifican y coman carne, Yavé no las aceptará. Se acuerda de su iniquidad y castigará sus pecados. Volverán a Egipto.
14 And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
Porque Israel olvidó a su Hacedor y edificó palacios. Judá multiplicó ciudades fortificadas. Pero Yo encenderé un fuego en sus ciudades que consumirá sus palacios.
